Sorry I didn't put in all the info. This is a 2 square mile lake, deepest
part, 190 feet, but most of it 100' or less, and that's where the fish hang
out. I have a 10# anchor that came with the boat, and it is of the smooth
braided line, but is in two segments that total about 50' total. The bottom
is mostly sandy or muddy, and not a lot of areas where there are rocks to
catch on. Kind of like the braided, as it is easy on the hands. Manila or
sisal would be harder on the hands, and actually 1/2' sounds good, although
it is far stronger than needed. Just wanted comments and input as per
longevity, cost, rate of wear, those things. Boat is 16' Aluminum Lund. No
current. No wind. (If if's windy, I don't go, or go home.)
